You can also choose to use NFC or Near Field communication to transfer data between Samsung devices. NFC is a feature that allows users to pay for goods, share data and automate certain tasks very easily. It is important to note that both devices need to be NFC enabled in order to use this method. If they are, just follow these very simple steps to transfer data from one device to another.

Steps to Transfer Data from Samsung to Samsung:

Step 1. The first step is to turn on NFC on both devices. To do this go to Settings > More Settings> NFC and then toggle the switch on.

Step 2. Once NFC is turned on for both devices, touch the back of the devices together. You should feel the devices vibrate or hear a sound confirming that the devices are now connected. You will also need to set up a Wi-Fi direct connection to allow for data migration on either one of the devices. Ensure that the device remain touching as you are setting up this Wi-Fi connection.

Step 3. The next step is to select the type of data you want to transfer. Keep in mind that you can use this method to transfer contacts, calendar, S Notes, Pictures, Music, Videos and Documents.

Step 4. Once you have selected all the content you want transferred, simply click "Transfer" on the device and then click “OK” to confirm the device you want to send content to.
